Chapter 287: The Newcomer Debuts
Listening to the tone of the heavens, it seems that he is going to break me apart.
He was rarely so strict with me, I lowered my head and pursed my lips, and said in my heart that what else could he do?
Isn't fishing also a big deal, and then his thoughts turned to him, isn't it a senior brother, he also wants to be quiet, there is a situation in the south, he has to think about countermeasures?
Okay, I'd better be funny and get out of here!
On the vast river, a large ship was moving forward at a rapid pace.
The river was deserted, and the men at the bow of the ship had been nervously observing the situation in the channel ahead.
Hearing movement behind him, he immediately turned back.
The young man who appeared behind him was quite beautiful, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe.
At this moment, he stood with his hands in his hands, squinted at the river, and said with an indifferent expression: "How long will it take to arrive in Suzhou?" โ
The people waiting at the bow of the boat hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Third Young Master, there are about two days to go. โ
The young man frowned, his eyes were extremely unhappy, and he said, "How long will it take?" Work hard, I want to arrive earlier! โ
The man below echoed him and said, "Yes, I'll go and talk to the boat boss right away." โ
When he answered, he secretly glanced at the young man's face, and his little master had an extremely outstanding face, especially those eyes, which looked like they were going to suck the whole person into it after looking at it for a long time.
It's a pity that he rarely smiles, and his handsome face always has an indifferent expression.
The people below have served two little masters, and the one in front of him has formed a huge contrast with his eldest brother.
The river breeze was cold, and the boy stood on the deck for a short while. Then he turned back and went into the cabin.
After a short time, the ship really picked up speed and rushed in the direction of Suzhou. The scenery on both sides of the river is constantly thrown behind the boat.
Occasionally, when you encounter a passing ship, you will know that the people on board are either rich or noble, and it is too late to avoid them.
For a time, only this big boat could be seen on the entire river, which was particularly conspicuous
The guard on duty at the bow of the ship walked quickly to the back, stood in front of Tianfang and said, "Lord." Is there something wrong? โ
Tianfang put down the fishing rod, pondered for a moment, and said, "I didn't expect to come out and meet people who went to the north together. โ
"It stands to reason that war is imminent. Most of the ships are heading south," a hint of confusion flashed in Tianfang's eyes, and he paused before continuing, "how can there be someone like us?" โ
The guards were shocked. Squint at the back of the boat.
Early in the morning, I received the Lord's command. The speed was accelerated, but through the mist on the river, looming, and sure enough, the shadow of a boat appeared behind it, and it seemed that it was not small.
"I don't know who is following behind," Tianfang looked at the bottom of his eyes with an inquiring meaning, and said to the guard in a deep voice, "It seems that the speed of the other party is also going in the direction of Suzhou." You tell them, faster. If you can avoid it, avoid it, so as not to attract right and wrong. โ
After thinking about it carefully, Tianfang made a decision.
The guard stared at the shadow of the ship in the fog for a while, raised his head and looked at him and said, "Lord, is it also a person from the palace who is going to the Northland?" โ
"There are only a few people, and it's not easy to spy on the water." Tianfang looked at the back of the boat with hesitant eyes and said, "If you really go to Suzhou, you may not be able to go to the north." โ
"Besides, not all the people in the palace have left, and they will follow the empress's men and horses on the road together." Tianfang shook his head and said.
"The people in the army, it is impossible to go by water, they must be catching up with the empress's army day and night, so it should not be her subordinates."
Tianfang's gaze roamed around the open river, and then said: "Although that boat looks not small, it is difficult to accommodate many people, and it doesn't look like a ship in the army, but like"
The guard looked at the back vigilantly, looked at the heavens, and wondered: "Lord, who are you talking about?" Who do you think are following us? "It's hard to say for the time being, I'm afraid that the girl will be worried, so I didn't tell her more," Tianfang pondered for a moment, and a faint smile flashed across his lips, "You watch for me, I'll go see her in the cabin." โ
Tianfang stood up, and when he walked to the cabin door, he turned to the guard and said, "At noon, I will cook and make fish soup." โ
The guards watched his figure disappear into the hatch, and a smile suddenly appeared on their faces.
Last night's meal was made by his companion, it was unpalatable, and today with the light of that little junior sister, I can finally have a comfortable meal.
As long as they don't cross the line, they, the Lord, are indeed the best people to speak.
As for the ship's guard who followed behind, stared at the shadow in the mist, his eyes intent
I sat down at the table and took the map that Tianfang was looking at, and I saw that he was going to fish for the morning, and he must not have time to study the map anymore, so I just took it and took a closer look.
Suzhou, the map shows that the surrounding boundaries are mountainous, presumably when you get there, you have to take the mountain road instead.
When the day came in, I was lying on the edge of the table and looking intently at the map, when I suddenly heard footsteps and was startled by him. "Senior brother, you're not fishing?" I asked, turning my head.
Tianfang walked to the table, looked down at the map on the table, raised his head and smiled at me: "I caught too many fish just now, and now there are guards who take the fishing rod and continue fishing, it seems that today's fish soup is not finished." "I'll cook the extra fish," I said, glancing at him, "not only the fish soup, but also a few more dishes for such fresh fish, and you can catch them all, and it won't be a waste if you don't need to." "Little junior sister, after Suzhou arrives, I plan to stay there for a day or two," Tianfang pondered for a moment, and said in a light tone, "Seeing that our current speed should be about the same as that of the empress, if you don't want to run into it, you can slow down." "No, just run into it!"
In fact, I have thought about this problem for a long time, but I and Tianfang, as well as a few people under him, are low-key, and it is not easy to attract the attention of others, plus there is also a disguise technique as a guarantee, and the safety factor is much higher.
"Senior brother, they won't stay in an inn in the city, so let's stay in a different place from them. It's not likely to happen head-on. โ
I rolled up the map, handed it to Tianfang, and said, "I've seen the terrain of Suzhou, and there are many mountains next to it. When you get there, if you want to change to overland, you need a good carriage. โ
"The mountain road is rugged, and there must be a driver who is familiar with the terrain, senior brother has thought about these things, right?"
Tianfang nodded and replied casually: "I prepared it a few days ago." โ
"Senior brother, didn't all your people go to the south of Sealand, how can there be people who are free to arrange for us?"
I suddenly stared at the sky and said.
There was a clear flaw in his words. If I hadn't asked too many questions before, and I still couldn't hear it, I would have taken it for granted that it was all the people under him.
"Hmm" Tianfang paused. coughed and said, "Anyway, it's ready, little junior sister, you don't have to worry." โ
He immediately changed the subject. We chatted with me about the customs of Suzhou.
I looked at him absentmindedly. I always feel that he is a little mysterious, as if he is hiding something from me.
But he didn't want to say it, and it would be futile for me to deliberately inquire!
Chestnut lamb jelly, eight-treasure duck, vinegared fish rolls, cold salad, fried shrimp and a chicken soup in a casserole.
The person sitting at the table glanced coldly at the dishes on the table, and after a few bites, he put down his chopsticks happily.
The maid who was waiting on the side looked at him from time to time, and her face flushed.
Seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward and poured him a glass of wine, but before the wine reached him, he suddenly fell on his stomach.
The maid was embarrassed. The wolf bรจi got up and picked up the mess on the ground.
The glass shattered, and the wine in the glass was scattered on the floor. "Get out!"
The people who came in a hurry at the door of the cabin knew that it was the person who was waiting for them, and they had annoyed their little master again.
These people just don't have a long memory. I had time to find an opportunity to come to him, but I didn't know that the little overlord of his family had never been close to women. "Ah Fu, where did you die!" The people at the table were furious, and immediately scolded him, "Throw that clumsy fool just now into the river to feed the fish!" โ
As soon as these words came out, the maid who knelt on the side was almost paralyzed with fright! "Hey, Sanshao, this is the first time, why don't those stupid things have a long memory," Ah Fu stepped forward to flatteringly, "This is not yet the boundary of Suzhou, you can be restless, just wait for the shore, and don't have to face these people anymore." โ
As she spoke, Ah Fu winked at the other attendant beside him, and the man restrained the unfortunate man with a pale face and went to the back of the cabin, where her companions were waiting.
Although it will not be thrown into the river, it will hinder the young master's eyes, so it is appropriate to take it to a place where he can't see.
It was a lot quieter in front of him, and the young man at the table softened his face a little and said: "Before you get to the shore in Suzhou, you are not allowed to appear again" "Yes, yes, obey!" Ah Fu leaned over and smiled, "Do you still have an appetite for the food?" "When you're full, get down!" The boy walked inside, leaned lazily on the couch, took a dart from the table next to the couch, and threw it at the frisbee hanging on the wall.
Ah Fu nimbly avoided the line of death.
The man on the couch glanced at him and snorted coldly.
Although the young master has a good technique, but in case, I am afraid that if it is not Ah Fu walked to the side of the couch and said: "Little young master, I have instructed the boss of the boat, the ship will go to the fastest, it is estimated that it will be able to arrive in Suzhou in two days, you can rest assured." โ
After appeasing the little master's affection, Ah Fu walked to the back cabin where a bunch of maids were closed, and whispered to the guards at the door.
The people in the front cabin turned over on the couch, stared at the frisbee that he had poked all over the place, and exhaled depressedly.
It's all because of the people in the family, he had to let him go to Suzhou, if it wasn't for the opportunity to take the opportunity to see his eldest brother, he was too lazy to run so far.
The days on the ship were really boring, and I didn't know how to eat the food, so it would be good to live in the house I bought in Suzhou.
Anyway, can the boat go a little faster?
As a result, I still couldn't make a lunch trip, so my brother contracted and used a large table in the kitchen, and except for the boat boss, the other four people ate on their own side.
The two guards refused to sit up at first, but at my request, Tianfang agreed, and they sat there trembling.
I shook my head and said, "You guys are too awkward, it's normal to eat at the same table in these extraordinary times, and I can't eat anymore when I look at you." โ
The meals were served one after another, and the fish soup made by the senior brother was delicious, but the most brilliant thing was a stack of yusheng.
Although I didn't do anything, I watched my brother's excellent knife work and the dipping sauce he prepared the whole time.
This is obviously a certain dish I had eaten before I crossed, I looked at Tianfang in amazement, he looked back and smiled: "Haiguo people like to eat like this, only the freshest fish can be included in the dish." โ
I suddenly said, "No wonder, I'm wondering where you learned it, it's a common way to eat in the Haiguo." โ
Thinking back to the books I read about food, it was originally a time-honored cooking method, and it is not uncommon for them to come up with it according to local conditions.
Bowed his head and took a sip of fish soup, Tianfang put down his chopsticks and looked at me and said, "Little junior sister, there is something I want to tell you." โ
Hearing this, I looked at him, and Tianfang's expression showed that the things he wanted to tell me should be very important, and I had to listen carefully. "I was fishing on the river this morning when I saw another boat following behind us."
I moved between my eyebrows, opened my mouth slightly, and said, "Senior brother, this is sailing on the river, and this water area is not contracted by us, is there any problem with a boat behind you?" "Where did you learn the weird words!" Tianfang frowned and whispered, "It's not unusual to have a boat, but that boat has been following closely, which is a little weird." "Especially when I asked them to speed up and want to get rid of it, but the other party also went faster and faster, and it seemed that they didn't want to be thrown off." "Senior brother, you said that they deliberately followed us, what is the purpose?" I couldn't help but ask.
I still think it's incredible, when I went abroad in the capital, there was obviously no "tail", and it seems a bit unreasonable to have such a "tail" popping up in the middle of the road.
If you want to follow, why don't you follow it early?
The guard sitting on the side answered: "After discussing with the lord, I still decided to tell you, after all, there are only a few people on the ship at the moment, and the situation of the other party is not clear." "If they get close with all their might, or if they're going to attack, you'll have to be prepared!"
I looked at them in horror and said, "Not really! "We have never come ashore from the capital city," I said with a flash of confusion in my eyes, "where did you provoke the people to be unfavorable to us?" "Little junior sister, it's just a guess right now," Tianfang smiled faintly, raised his eyebrows, "There is another possibility, they also happened to go to Suzhou." โ
Tianfang softened his tone slightly and continued: "It just happened that there was an emergency, so I kept driving forward at full speed. "Senior brother, it's more reasonable to see this situation," I looked relieved, "It's probably the same person who went to Suzhou, but I just happened to meet us!" โ
(PS: To be honest, I've been waiting for a long time, and I changed the outline and even pinched off a large part of the tedious drama in the Sealand Palace, and finally wrote about him :) (To be continued......)
